Would you refuse even if we get to the point where not carrying and ID card causes you to become unidentifiable?

I'd be less opposed to it if a) They could give me a good reason for the data being useful b) Their system wasn't so easily circumventable c) They had a track record of not being retards with data and security

Based on how much stick government schemes involving any sort of IT seem to get so quickly from technically inclined folks I wonder whether the government employs 10 year olds to do their IT work or whether they simply choose to ignore the outcry from their own experts who are being asked to work miracles, can't and are then told to cut corners.

:edit: Thanks for that LiC, looks like an excellent website. Not much of a fan of democracy but it's several orders better than pseudo democracy. Looks like the people behind (and supporting) that website are trying to help us have a proper one. Hooray.
